Can the Boston Red Sox stretch their winning streak to four?

That will be the task at hand Thursday night when the Sox take on the Chicago White Sox at Guaranteed Rate Field for a four-game set.

Boston is fresh off a three-game sweep of the Oakland Athletics and will look to continue their winning ways against a White Sox team that has won four of their last five games.

David Price will take the mound for the Sox in hopes of hitting the .500 mark on the season. Chicago will counter with Lucas Giolito.

Xander Bogaerts will return to the lineup and bat fifth after sitting in Wednesday’s finale, meaning Tzu-Wei Lin will return to the bench. The rest of the lineup Alex Cora will tote out remains the same.
